The sound was different from that of any other – a deep belly howl with the voice of doom – full, long, and deafening. Nothing about this storm seemed ordinary. I felt as if I were transported into the wilds…. Bundled in every piece of clothing I had stored in the car, my senses switched to high alert. Thousands of us inched along the highways through the storm, hour after hour, never certain of our location, intent only on keeping the car moving through rapidly accumulating and drifting snow. By the time I started home in the afternoon, it was already too late for safe driving. My inner voice kept telling me to return home, yet lunch with a friend was an important goal. I had lived my entire life on the New England coast and I knew that this wind was unnaturally wild. I drove to work watching flags on buildings whipping crazily in a sleeting east wind, trying to convince myself that the "real" storm wouldn't arrive until afternoon, as predicted. Naturally, I, like thousands of others on Monday the 6 th, got into my car to carry on business as usual. Nowadays bad weather is simply an inconvenience which seldom interrupts our daily routines – so we tune in the storm alert system and tune out our senses. Nan Turner Waldron was living on Cape Cod during the Blizzard of '78 she remembered her terrifying drive home from work on the first day of the storm.
